Chapter 136 Falling Behind Again
"You're welcome," Xu Si said, sounding somewhat humble.
However, he wasn't entirely sincere and didn't bother to apologize or anything.
Without offering any further explanation, he condensed a few more pieces of ice and handed them over.
His mind was currently focused on the Time Sandbox and the Time Ring.
"I'll take you up first!" Xu Si had recovered a lot of strength now, and the passage to the top had been opened, so there was no need for the two of them to stay down here. It gave him a sense of déjà vu, like Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min.
Although she understood Xu Si's implied meaning, Jiang Li did not express any objection.
She could naturally guess that there might be something Xu Si cared about here, most likely the [Time Sandbox], but what did that have to do with her?
She was mentally prepared from the moment the caravan left her in the cave to guard the barrier.
Now that I've been given a second chance at life, nothing could be better!
Jiang Li was in even worse condition, so Xu Si had no choice but to carry her up the steps along the barrier.
Outside the barrier, all that could be seen was the desolate wasteland left by the explosion, with no sign of the fire engine convoy.
Not a single living creature could be seen, and the blood-red sun was slowly sinking below the horizon.
Without delay, Xu Si put Jiang Li down and then jumped into the barrier.
Bathed in starlight and wielding a sharp sword, Xu Si acted with unbridled arrogance and without a care in the world, quickly acquiring the only two items he had obtained this time.
After a flurry of activity.
Xu Si finally got his wish and lay down next to Jiang Li. His body, which had not fully recovered, was now even weaker.
Unfortunately, the little girl wasn't around, and the little elf had fallen into a deep sleep; otherwise, he wouldn't be so weak.
"You don't seem to like your team!" Xu Si made conversation, because ever since Jiang Li woke up, she seemed to have some complaints about the Martial God Team.
"..." Jiang Li fell silent and did not answer, and Xu Si tactfully did not ask any further questions.
After sensing the location of the conqueror, Xu Si was speechless. That guy was also buried under the yellow sand!
He'll take a break, then continue digging.
Looking at the setting sun on the horizon, Xu Si felt only relief. This trip had been incredibly risky. If he hadn't found Jiang Li in the cave, he would never have seen the familiar Blood Sun.
Perhaps he will truly be buried in this unknown Gobi Desert along with the eerie mystery, and no one will remember him, much less find him.
He is the most inconspicuous grain of sand, weeds, and waste rock in the apocalypse.
After resting for a while, before the sunset completely bid farewell to the world.
Xu Si forced himself to sit up and crawled on his hands and feet toward the approximate location where the "Conqueror" was buried.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Li felt a panic she had never experienced before, as if she was about to be abandoned.
"Beep beep," Xu Si didn't answer. He sensed it with his mind and the two horns of the Conqueror buried in the sand made Jiang Li overjoyed.
She immediately rolled over and, just like Xu Si, crawled towards the sound of the horn using both her hands and feet, her speed no less than Xu Si's.
Is this what women's endurance is all about?
Fortunately, the Conqueror was not buried very deep. When the two dug out the front of the vehicle, the Conqueror overloaded and rushed out of the sand pit.
"Is this your car?" The vehicles of the Martial God Team are all top-of-the-line, but compared to Xu Si's vehicle, they are not even worth comparing.
"It's obvious!" There's no point in hiding it.
"You seem to be much better now. I still need to catch up with my convoy. As for you..." Xu Si was unsure what to do. He certainly couldn't help find the Martial God convoy.
Regardless of whether this woman might set a trap for him, he would absolutely not let the Martial God Caravan know about the [Time Sandbox] he was holding.
"I'll go with you!" Jiang Li had no feelings whatsoever for the Martial God Caravan.
In that male-dominated motorcade, she could only gain a foothold by dressing like a man. That bit of affection was completely repaid when she was guarding the [Time Delay Mirage].
"My barrier is very useful! Ordinary mid-level monsters can't do anything about it!" Jiang Li explained, seemingly noticing Xu Si's furrowed brows.
Xu Si was naturally quite concerned about Jiang Li's barrier. After all, her barrier withstood three such massive explosions, which spoke volumes.
It just so happens that there are many weaklings in the team who need to be protected by someone, and Su Su, Ta Shan and Shao Bing have not yet grown up.
This woman is definitely skilled in defense, which allows him to fully concentrate on the battle when facing strange opponents.
Otherwise, if things continue like this, he'll really become the team's caretaker.
Fortunately, the team's current formation is becoming more and more reasonable.
It has gradually begun to operate smoothly, as evidenced by this convoy gathering.
In his ideal plan, his relationship with the team was complementary, and everything he had done before was to accelerate this process. Fortunately, he finally saw a glimmer of hope for success.
"Get in the car!" Getting a sequence transcendental item for free is a further compensation for his losses this time, and it can be considered an unexpected gain.
Besides Xiao Luo, Jiang Li was the first woman to get into Xu Si's car.
As a girl, Jiang Li was still very curious about Xu Si's peculiar car.
When she saw the bed in the back room, her cheeks flushed almost imperceptibly for a moment.
Xu Si didn't notice and impatiently activated "Conqueror," the headlights instantly lighting up in the Gobi Desert, which was almost completely dark.
Xu Si sensed that the tour guide's convoy had stopped early this morning, perhaps to rest or perhaps to wait for him to catch up.
Fortunately, having learned from his experience of falling behind once, Xu Si was no longer so worried.
However, it's still quite far from him, and I don't know if this tank of gas will be enough to catch up.
The engine hummed deeply, like a wild beast awakening.
The dashboard inside the car lit up slightly, automatically adjusting the seat and temperature.
Jiang Li sat in the passenger seat, and the slowly adapting seat was more comfortable than she had imagined. Moreover, the constant temperature inside the car made her feel no coldness of the Gobi night.
The last rays of the blood-red sun disappeared completely below the horizon, replaced by the cold starlight of the Gobi Desert and boundless darkness.
With only one off-road vehicle at full power, the conqueror's ability to traverse the exposed gravel and sand of the Gobi Desert posed no challenge whatsoever.
Normally, the convoy only travels at a maximum speed of about 50 or 60 miles per hour, and only when encountering a strange situation and needing to escape will they floor the accelerator.
Xu Si no longer had this concern, and he kept the accelerator floored.
The sense of control brought by constant monitoring and mechanical rhythm, along with the powerful drive from the conqueror's heart, allows this "beast" to be unleashed like never before.
"Aren't you afraid of going to the wrong place?" Jiang Li asked, expressing her concern.
There are hardly any landmarks in this Gobi Desert.
She had also seen some of Xu Si's characteristics; he wasn't one of those who could lead the way, like a guide, adventurer, or pioneer.
Therefore, she was worried that Xu Si's reckless behavior would backfire.
Xu Si looked at the companion who had suddenly appeared beside him and felt a little uncomfortable. In the past, he was always alone and had no one to talk to. This feeling was a little strange.
"There's a strange object guiding us!" Xu Si explained simply, and Jiang Li knew she had worried for nothing.
